A '''fictional brand''' is a non-existing [[brand]] used in artistic or entertainment productions — paintings, books, [[comics]], movies, TV serials, etc.. The fictional brand may be designed to imitate a real corporate brand, satirize a real corporate brand, or differentiate itself from real corporate brands.
